CHI Health Academic Medical Center

Project Description

E&A was hired by CHI Health to conduct annual Post-Construction Stormwater Management Plan (PCSMP) inspections and prepare inspection reports for several of their facilities, in accordance with City of Omaha requirements. One of these sites—the CHI Health Academic Medical Center at 24th and Cuming Street—is an 80,000-square-foot community health center located on approximately nine acres in downtown Omaha. The facility is responsible for maintaining three stormwater treatment structures, including two extended dry detention basins and one large StormTech system. The StormTech system delivers underground stormwater treatment and storage, enabling efficient runoff management without occupying valuable surface space—making it an ideal solution for dense, urban developments.

Note: As of July 1, 2008, the City of Omaha requires the installation of post-construction stormwater management features as part of new land development to comply with the requirements in their Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) permit. Post-construction stormwater management applies to land development that results in an increase of impervious surface area greater than 5,000 square feet.
